Here are some differences we have found out:

Ages and Number

6 to 12 - 1200 in each school

4 to 11 - 240 children

School Times

7.30am to 4pm

8.55am to 3.20pm (with additional before and after school clubs)

Homework

Completed every night - compulsory - texted to paretns (Page of book to do)

We have now begun a three year partneship to learn from each other. More details of the project will be decided before our guests leave. We ish them well on their journey around the UK and hope they enjoy their cultural visits to Manchester and Liverpool before returning home.
